Personalities: Garden Books Booker Oct. 20

Kim Booker, whose father fought in Madison Square Garden in the late nineteen thirties, will get his first chance in a main bout Oct. 20. The 24‐year‐old Booker will face Bobby (Boogaloo) Watts of Philadelphia as a substitute because Watts's original opponent, Rodrigo Valdes of Colombia, pulled out of the scheduled 10‐ round middleweight bout for no apparent reason. Valdes faces possible disciplinary action by the New York State Athletic Commission, a Garden spokesman said yes terday. The No. 5 middle weight in the World Boxing Association rankings, Valdes was found to be in perfect health by a commission doc tor. Booker has a 13‐1 record, while Watts is 16‐2‐1.

Sex in sports has found another backer. Dr. Craig Sharp, a medical adviser to one of Britain's Olympic squads, wrote in the maga zine, The Squash Player, “About half an hour of sex ual activity—if appropriate— would maximize the onset, quantity and quality of sleep and produce a more relaxed athlete.”

Lee Trevino Will carry a “secret weapon” in his bag during the Piccadilly world match‐play championship, which begins tomorrow at Wentworth Surrey, England. The Texan said he had dis carded his No. 2 iron for a No. 6 wood because “I can hit all the par‐5 holes with this six wood.”
